RADIATO R FOOT- REST.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 406,640, dated July 9,1889.

Application filed February 1, 1889. Serial No.298 .332. (N model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE O. FELTER, of Haverstraw, in the county ofRockland and State of New York, have invented a new and ImprovedRadiator Foot-Rest, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescrip- 1 be protected from all injury incident to the scraping of thefeet against them.

To the ends above named the invention consists of the construction andarrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, and specificallypointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar figures and letters of referenceindicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a face View of my i-adiat-orfootrest, representing it as itappears when connected to a radiator having vertical pipes or tubes, aportion only of the radiator being shown. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectionalview taken on line 03 a: of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 isa longitudinal sectionalview of the foot-rest, representing it as it appears when connected to aradiator having horizontal tubes or pipes; and Fig. 4 is an end view ofthe footrest, the longitudinal pipes being shown in section. Fig. 5 is ahorizontal section on line y y, Fig. 1,through one of the flanges 13,showing the vertical recess for receiving the arm 11 of the shield.

In the drawings, 10 represents a shelf,

formed with a flange 11, that is apertured to receive the shank of aclamping-hook 12, and slotted at b to receive the shank of aclamping-hook 12. The shelf 10 is preferably formed with side flanges13, that are grooved to receive downwardly-extending projections 14,formed upon or connected to the side flanges 15 of a guard or screen16,.the arrangement being such that the guard or screen may be adjustedto the position in which it is shown in the drawings or removed from theshelf. f

In applying the footrest to a radiator having vertical pipes or tubesthe hook 12 is brought into engagement with one of the radiator-pip'es,while the hook 12 is moved up within its slot, so as-to bear closelyagainst another of the pipes, as shown in Fig. 1, the hooks being heldto place by nuts 17, as shown. If the foot-rest is to be applied to aradiator having horizontal pipes, the clamping-hooks 12 and 12 areadjusted as represented in Figs. 3 and 4.

By means of the above construction I provide a rest which may beadjusted as to height to suit the convenience of the user, and when inuse the guard or shield, which is removably connected to the shelf, willprevent the users feet from scraping against and marrin g theradiator-pipes.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent 1. A foot-rest for radiators provided with verticalgrooves or recesses on its sides at the inner ends thereof, and avertical open-work shield having downward-extending arms 14 enteringsaid recesses or grooves, substantially as set forth.

2. As an improved article of manufacture, a foot-rest for radiators,consistin gin the shelf 10, having integral depending flanges 11 13along its inner side and ends, respectively, the flange 11 beingprovided with a bolt-aperture and a longitudinal slot .17, and the endflanges 13 being vertically grooved or recessed at their inner ends, thehook-bolts extending inwardly through said aperture and slot, andprovided wit-h nuts on their inner ends, and the open-work shield 16having integral end flanges l5 and depending arms 14 entering saidrecesses or grooves, substantially as set forth.

GEORGE C. FELTER.
